Creativity in Work Professional and Personal Development ProgramMay - June 2012

Use the Creative Resources within you to inform new Work Directions, Strategies, Innovations, Projects, Products or Services

Practical, tangible outcomes and offerings will emerge from the inside-out over the course of 6 weeks. Your passion, skills, talents and experience will inform the goals and structures. This program contains a balance of left and right brain activities, analysis and intuition, strategy and emergence, thinking and being, action and reflection, theory and application, lightness and depth, and improvisation and planning...with actionable results.
